    I just found out about tokiwa zoo and I'm absolutely loving the zoo.But I can't seem to find any pictures of the exhibits on the internet.So I was hoping that someone might have some pictures or knows a site with them.

    I was so surprised when I discovered the zoo.Cause when I see a small japanese zoo,if not most japanese zoos.They usually have too many species for the amount of space that they have access to.But tokiwa zoo gives alot of space for their animals,and also high quality exhibits I thought I'll only see in japan in major zoos(ueno,tama,zoorasia etc)

    That's because Tokiwa zoo opened quite recently(2016). It was a horrible zoo before but they basically remake the zoo in the past few years.

    Let's be honest.Even exhibits that were built after 2016 in japan are average at best with only a few exceptions.Which makes tokiwa zoo still looks super impressive with exhibits which probably can be in any Western zoo.(I think anyway)

    Yeah. Let's hope there are more improvement to other zoo like Tokiwa. I think there are some progress made in the past decade but there are still a long way to go.

    I'm confused - if you haven't been there and you can't find any photos of the exhibits on the internet, how are you forming your opinion on how great the zoo's exhibits are?

    if finingimages is difficult (despite lnowing that the zoo exists) then you can always search online by searching using the zoo's name in Japanese.

    And I agree with Chli. In my opinion what you said is paradoxical at best, lacks sense at worst.

    I have seen some videos and pictures zoomed into the animals so had somewhat of a image in my head of how the exhibits look like,but wanted full exhibit shots and couldn't find any.

    And I meant I liked it by looking at it with japanese standards,which is very low.
